Lighting up Corojo No. 5 Maduro took a little doing with a single-flame torch, but I got more anise flavors right off the bat (it seemed to be inundated with that flavor and aroma). Lesser notes of earth and black coffee were recognizable in the mix, with cocoa powder and a dark fruit sweetness faintly making themselves known. The retrohale had cedar and red pepper notes that are tightly tied to Corojo leaf for this mellow medium cigar, at least for me, Hoss.
